i am currently living in korea. it is quite easy to live a low-carb life here. mostly, i eat meals consisting of either egg, pork, beef or fish, accompanied by various vegetables, along with seaweed. I make sure to eat the fat along with the animal protein. Good, wholesome food. All washed down with some Soju – Korea’s alcoholic spirit of choice; 20% alcohol content.

Dr. Mike, I laughed out loud at your humorous description of the chinese liquor taste and the whole toasting ceremony. I would not have survived it beyond the 2nd or 3rd round, for sure. Thanks for sharing!

Here’s a picture of Pitaya we bought in Israel this summer: there is white flesh and magenta flesh varieties. Taste and texture a bit like Kiwi fruit…

Thanks for the photos. That is exactly the fruit we had. Glad to now know what it is for sure.

Dr. Eades,

I am considering supplementing my meat-rich diet with some extra L-lysine for dermatological purposes. From what i gather, this amino is best taken alone on an empty stomach. I want to take a couple grams daily, preferably in one dose first thing in the morning. Do you think my body could efficiently absorb and assimilate between 2-3 grams in one dose?

Cheers.

I don’t see why not.

Thanks, Monica, for posting that. It’s exactly what I was looking for.

Sorry, Dr. Mike, for hijacking your blog temporarily!

Figured it would be good to provide the links of all my vegetarian/vegan related posts, because I’m guessing that it was me you were talking about. All of the following have to do with the environmental impact (positive and negative) of various food production methods. I attempted to leave links but I believe the blog thinks it’s spam. Here is what you can do. Go to fa-rm.org/blog and search for the following titles:

The Feasibility of a Pastured Animal Production Model
Diet for an UNhealthy Planet
The Cow Tax and PeTA’s Dishonesty
More on Meat and Sustainability — and a Challenge to Environmentalists
Thoughts on the Environmental Effects of Carnivory and Veganism

Weston A Price Foundation also has a great article on the myths of vegetarianism. Here is the particular assertion relating to environmental issues and meat:

I am pretty sure back issues of their Wise Traditions journal also has such information as well!

I did find it in the spam filter. Here it is complete with links. Thanks for taking the time to put it all up.
